Bolpur (Shantiniketan) or in IR terms BHP. Located approximately 160 KMs from Kolkata, the home of our Noble Laureate Kabi Guru Ravindranath Tagore and Biswabharati University, is easily accessible by railways and roadways from Kolkata.
This tip is about the food quality of Jan Ahar located at PF 1 of BHP.
The picture 1 is of a plate of Chicken Meal.
Items
...
more...
:- Rice, Dal, Aachar, Finger shaped potato fries and a curry of 2 fleshy pieces of Chicken.
Price :- ₹85.
Quantity :- Sufficient for an adult. I will say more than enough.
Quality :- Very tasty.
Paneer, Egg and Fish meals too available.
Many small eateries are available outside the station building. Puri Sabzi, vada, chop, chole mixture, juice and lassi are available. Had Mango Lassi from outside priced at ₹ 10 and ₹ 20. Excellent taste.
Picture 2 :- Entry/Exit gate of BHP. A poem of Kabi Guru is scripted.
Picture 3 :- Large SB of Bolpur (Shantiniketan).
Thanks a ton to Shoubhik for his company at Bolpur. 🙏

Thank you very much. For me it's too less
Food looks pretty decent for an adult. For ₹85, it's definitely value for money.
Pretty useful tip 👍

Paneer Meal was available for ₹67, Egg for ₹70 and Fish for ₹88.
Special Maharaja thali was there too but for me this one enough. 2 types of curry (including chicken), fries, rice and dal. 😁

Bengal, Orissa or South India me log bhaat bahoot khata hai, roti dhundne per milta hai. Lekin chicken ka maja tandori rooti ya phir paratha k sath hai. Muzaffarpur me Kalyani chowk per boneless chicken or paratha bahoot behtarain khiata hai. Kabhi try kerna.

Escalators are there - one on PF 1 and another for PF 2 and 3. But they are too narrow to handle large crowd at a time.

This station is the main railhead to Shantiniketan,the sight of the famous Viswabharati University established by Rabindranath Tagore.... There is quite rush over here during the "Dol Utsav" held at the day of Doljatra(Bengali Holi festival,held on the previous day of Holi) And on Poush Mela(A 5-6 day long fair)... People must book tickets for travelling at least a month ago or else won't be able to get the reservation...connected well to different parts of India through different trains...
